SUMMARY: The third meeting of the Advisory Committee on the Bird
Banding Laboratory (Committee) will take place June 13 and 14, 2006, at
the Western Regional Office for Ducks Unlimited, 3074 Gold Canal Drive,
Rancho Cordova, California 95670-6116. The meeting runs from 8:30 a.m.

represent the interests of the bird banding community, including both
game and non-game birds, in advising the U.S. Department of the
Interior, USGS, on current and future management of the Bird Banding
Laboratory. The agenda for this meeting will focus on a full Committee
review of the results of the work done since the last meeting by the
writing subgroup. The subgroup was charged with developing draft one-
page position papers on the following topics: (1) Bird banding permits;
(2) data collection and storage; (3) data dissemination; (4)
partnerships; and overarching issues. Subsequent to the review
discussion, the Committee will finalize statements for each issue and
begin developing recommendations for action.
The meeting is open to all members of the interested public, and
time on the agenda has been reserved at the conclusion of each day's
work for the Committee to receive verbal comments (limited to 5 minutes
per person) from the public. To speak before the Committee, please
